I want my artwork to take you back to a time when life wasn’t so hard; to remember the moments when you were in front of the television with a coloring book and crayons.

Life was so simple when we were children; stress-free and fun!

I fondly recall the times when I sat at the table coloring with my mom. It was a memorable time in my life – so relaxing and worry-free! I didn’t fret about the bully down the street or the homework I had to finish for school.

It was just my mom and I sharing a book and crayons. Those were wonderful times – and I know you have stories of your own that bring back great memories from your past, too.

That's why I wanted to start the Coloring to Unwind series. To give you permission to escape the busy life you lead; to unwind after a hard day, or simply to recall fond memories from your childhood.

How It's Done

I do all of the designs for Coloring To Unwind, from my home office, using software products such as Adobe ® Photoshop and Illustrator.

Sometimes I’ll start with a simple sketch and turn it into vector art by scanning it into Illustrator, and other times I will start with an existing art file that I’ll piece together with other artwork before placing it into a Kaleidoscope program.

Once the layout is complete, it's added to the Etsy listing and ready for your enjoyment.
